When we say functionality during electronics development we normally mean electrical functionality: the circuit that controls the flow of electrons to convert incoming inputs into desired outputs. The look of this functionality doesn’t normally come into it as it is often considered superfluous. I argue, though, that the beauty of electronics is functionality in many […]
Progress came in print: the history of printed circuit boards The printed circuit board (PCB) is probably one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. The intellectual father of the printed circuit board was Paul Eisler. If he had only asked for a few pennies for each copy of his invention, he would […]
We have all been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and for many of us this changed the way we conduct our daily activities. For weeks now, numerous designers are working from home or are more isolated than they were before. Are you one of them? And do you have questions concerning the Manufacture and Assembly […]
Why does the copper thickness of a PCB vary? A printed circuit board (PCB) is a very complex and technically demanding construction made of different materials and process steps with unavoidable tolerances. The reasons for this are on the one hand the starting material for the PCB, the base material, and on the other hand […]
Eurocircuits ‘PCB Design Guidelines‘ are based on our philosophy of ‘Right First Time for Manufacture‘.

Definition of Tolerance for Manufacturing Manufacturing tolerances are the amount of variation that is allowed in a measurement or other characteristic of an object. Ref: Collins English Dictionary We continue with our series on Understanding Tolerances on a PCB with our 5th guide: Finished PCB Thickness Tolerances As with all manufacturing processes the Finished PCB […]
Definition of Tolerance for Manufacturing Manufacturing tolerances are the amount of variation that is allowed in a measurement or other characteristic of an object. Ref: Collins English Dictionary We continue with our series on Understanding Tolerances on a PCB with our 4th guide: Slot Size Tolerances The definition of a slot is “a narrow-elongated slit […]
